Sony PS4 coming to India this year, to go on pre-order soon

We have some great news for all the gaming freaks in India who are eagerly awaiting the launch of the Sony PS4 (PlayStation 4) as Sony have confirmed that the highly awaited gaming console will hit Indian shores this year.

Sony had launched the PS4 way back in February and the next generation Gaming console from Sony will go on sale in North America, Australia and Europe this November so we can expect the PS4 to come to India in December. According to the Sony India webisite, the PS4 will go on pre-order very soon as the pre-order page for the PS4 is already open but you can’t pre-order one just yet.

Sony India’s country head for PlayStation Atindriya Bose quoted:

(the) India launch date will be declared at a later stage. The segregation of the launch dates has been done to have the best launch possible in each of the territories backed by adequate stocks available at launch date. The India launch date is being planned based on the logistics requirements and local market planning. The current exchange rate fluctuations mean that we will be able to declare the final launch price (both for the console as well as the games) at a date closer to the launch date.

The Sony PS4 is a worthy upgrade from its predecessor. It has been designed from scratch and comes with Sony’s DualShock 4 Wireless Controller coupled with PlayStation 4 Eye. It has a brand new chipset which features eight x86-64 AMD Jaguar cores and there’s a brand new state of the art graphics processor which will give you some very eye pleasing graphics and detail. The connectivity is well covered as well with USB 3.0, AUX, Ethernet, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, HDMI, Analog-AV and Digital Output.

The Sony PS4 costs $399 for the 500 GB version in North America and we can expect it to cost Rs. 25k – Rs. 30k. So anyone out here planning to get a Sony PS4?
